That's interesting, so the new HBO Max will be a all-in-one combined service with sport,tv, films and Discovery's reality crap along with the seperate Discovery+ streamer, which I assume will stay as it is.

What I've learned from these posts is that every market is different. And I think the Eurosport player will exist in some markets too. It will doubtless take a few years and a few wrong turns for everything to settle down.

It's not quite the Netflix vision of having one global streamer serving the same stuff for everyone, is it? Not that Netflix ever quite managed that either.

I think having three streamers is going to cause them problems.

In time I'm sure they'll all be on the same platform just branded differently.

Just think, there could have been four if they'd not cancelled the roll-out of CNN!

Japan’s U-Next Renews HBO and HBO Max Content Deal With Warner Bros Discovery - still considering options in Asia for their streaming service
https://deadline.com/2023/03/warner-...nt-1235281230/

In Australia their new agreement still allows them to launch their combined streaming service possibly In partnership with Foxtel, wonder if same applies here, there plans were later in 2024 for Asia- Pacific

@Old Boy - look like Disney are set to sell TV Rights to other broadcasters again:

CEO Bob Iger Tells Shareholders Marvel, Star Wars, Disney And Pixar Titles Will Stay Exclusive, But Others Could “On Occasion” Be Licensed To Third Parties

So new seasons of the following may appear on Sky Witness HD soon if Sky want them back.

*9-1-1
*9-1-1 Lone Star
*Station 19
*Grey's Anatomy

With Sky having the TV rights and Disney having the Streaming rights.

Yes, the broadcasters will bite their hands off, but I still think they are just being offered a few bones. The TV schedules aren’t what they used to be.

I somehow don't think so , I suspect back catalogue content may well be sold on a non exclusive basis to others which is what they have Started doing already in Australia.

ABC/20th Television Will Trent premiered on Disney+ today , The Company You Keep is due to premiere soon aswell (there is a Disney+ link for it and has premiere on Disney+ Australia)

Disney haven't taken all their content back - The Simpsons is still on Channel 4 and Sky, for example.

I read somewhere Sky have lifetime rights to The Simpsons, although limited since they have no On Demand rights

FYI Lloyds Bank has announced it is offering Disney+ as one of the free 'Lifestyle Benefit' you can choose if you sign up to its Lloyds Club account which is a current account with a charge of £3 a month or fee waived if you pay in more than £2000 a month.

Warner Bros Discovery to Host Streaming Product Press Event on 12th April
https://wbd.com/warner-bros-discover...t-press-event/

In terms of new territories it appears the new combined streaming platform will launch In France in 2024 since they announced their first Original for the region and Warner Bros Discovery have confirmed the combined streaming service will launch in Asia-Pacific in late 2024.

Is there another way to remove a package other than having to have Stream to remove it? or is the only way to do this is by phone, I find it inconvenient to have to phone to remove a package when you can manually add a package via your TV.

They appear to make it hard to remove packages or downgrade.

I don't think you can removed Cinema and Sports on Sky for example without phoning.

According to FX the upcoming season of It's Sunny In Philadelphia will be on Star+ and Disney+ in all other territories so not sure selling first run rights to other platforms/Broadcasters is happening

The BBC has been told it should develop a detailed plan showing how it intends to replace Freeview and other traditional TV platforms in favour of an internet-only future.

The UK House of Commons Public Accounts Committee (PAC) says the BBC must work with Government, audience representatives and wider stakeholders to ensure no-one is left behind.

The BBC was one of the original drivers of Freeview, the UK’s free-to-air digital terrestrial TV platform as its solution to achieve digital switchover. But the PAC indicates the BBC hasn’t got any Freeview replacement plan to drive an online TV switchover…

… Explainer: Does online-only broadcasting mean the end of regular TV channels?

Online-only broadcasting doesn’t automatically mean the end of linear TV. In fact a number of broadcasters have launched dedicated online-only streaming channels. ITVX, for instance, offers a suite of exclusive online-only channels.

Meanwhile, some European countries are piloting new technologies including 5G Broadcast and DVB-I. They allow linear and on-demand services to be delivered via IP-based platforms. 5G Broadcast utilises existing terrestrial TV transmitter towers. This allows users to access public service broadcasting without a commercial fixed or mobile broadband service.

The question for UK broadcasters, regulators and legislators is how can a universal free IP-based TV service be delivered?

The PAC appears to be keen on the BBC working with broadband providers on a Freeview replacement service.
